An elderly woman made the cross sign and began talking to a priest in the sinner seat. After realizing the priest didn't answer to her statements, she watched inside the confessional where he was actually dead by gunshot. The parish is home to a catholic high school and at the beginning detectives followed the classic pattern involving pedophilia. The victim used to hang around with a boy who has just been suspended from school. Anyway they changed their mind after noticing that the victim shouldn't have been in the confessional at the time of the murder, because he traded place with another priest (John Dossett). Then Briscoe and Green traced down the murder weapon, a small caliber one, belonged to a petrol attendant but that had switched hand to a former catholic school mate. There's a secret hid in the confidence between priest and believer involving a previous murder.
An uncommon episode related to catholic church. Luckily this time it has nothing to do with harassment over boys, but it focused on internal struggle a priest has to cope in order to follow his conscience. McCoy unexpectedly seemed to understand this kind of feelings (maybe because he was raised catholic).
